    Default My poor machine :-(

    My machine died on me last night! I took it to the shop this morning and now the waiting begins! Looks like I will not be sewing anytime soon. No clue when it will be ready. This is not fun!

    Sniff, sniff, what do you think is wrong with it? Hope it can be revived!

    Can you borrow one from someone you know that has one and isn't using it?

    Sorry to hear this, hope they can bring it back to life! I'd be lost without mine, but I do have a spare I could use.

    My machine died on me about 12 days ago....my LQS who does machine repairs graciously offered to let me borrow one of theirs until the repairs are done on mine. Maybe you could ask if your repair shop has loaners. It is seriously sad to want to sew and be without a machine!

    Awww...sorry to hear that Britt! I think I need to get a back-up machine too - I've worked with the Singer that you can get at Wal-Mart for about $97 and really liked it! Hope you get something to use soon!

    So sorry britt! I'd go stir crazy if I couldn't sew for any length of time. I have my old necchi machine that I can use if that ever happens to me. I wouldn't want to FMQ with it, but it can piece nicely. Hope your machine gets fixed quickly. Maybe planning your next quilt and going fabric shopping will keep you busy for a while so you're not walking in circles.

    Hope it is a quick fix!
    Last year when i couldn't sew because of my foot I spent my time cutting fabric for future quilts. not quite as much fun as sewing but it did keep me out of trouble.
